The true meaning of the holidays varies from person to person. However, we most often center our holiday beliefs around experiences, family, laughter, love, and the traditions that keep the spirit of the holidays alive. Let’s take a look at a few popular holiday photo tradition ideas to make your next holiday season truly special.
Host a Story Night
Nothing truly tells the whole story like a photo. It is those moments caught in time that add true color to stories that would have otherwise gone unseen. When enjoying time with family and friends, take time to host a story night to revisit and share all of these beautiful moments with each other.
Whether you’re pulling together recent family photos or ones that were taken decades ago, it is these stories that will forever be remembered.
Take a Full Family Photo
It is easy to take dozens of photos of falling snow, presents, and striking holiday spreads. However, the most important thing is for you to take shots of all the people you love together. You can use a self-timer and a tripod to give yourself a full-frame photo full of smiles.
Organize Your Most Important Photos
After a whole year of snapping beautiful photos, there is nothing better than compiling them for safekeeping. It is the best way to enjoy those beautiful experiences once again. Find a great storage method and group your photos by time period or even.
Then invest some time backing up your photos from all your devices.
Create a Year-In-Review Book
When looking back on the years behind you, each seems to pass by far quicker than the ones beforehand. By creating a year-in-review book, you make permanence of this time. Years down the line, you will have books upon books of pages and stories to share with people or simply enjoy. It also makes for a fantastic holiday gift.
These beautiful photo traditions will ensure that every holiday season is full of happiness, good memories, and plenty of laughter while looking back on old times. If you’d like some photos taken, contact me today to get started with your holiday photos to ensure no moments become forgotten.
